Hotel Lobby AI friends and cats samples
Two friends and two cats in the orange booth, remixed from 10-second 480p Seedance 2 Mini originals.
Two friends in the orange booth started from two original portraits of adults, one person per photo; Two cats on the orange stage started from two original cat photos. Each pair went straight into Seedance 2 Mini, which returned a vertical 9:16, 10-second clip at 480p on October 23, 2026. For this page each clip was trimmed, framed tighter, slowed slightly, color graded and stamped with ghibliia.com in the top-left corner, with no mirroring. These are remixes of those clips: no credits were spent here and they were not made in the Ghibliia workspace.

Combine two photos on Image, one person each, ask for the orange booth and mic, animate on Video.
- 1
Two photos
Pick one person per photo, facing the camera or slightly turned, in even light with similar brightness in both shots. Keep eyes and mouth clear: no sunglasses, masks or hands over the face. Waist-up or full body lets clothes and proportions carry into the clip.
Photo 1 usually ends up on the left and Photo 2 on the right. Two separate portraits keep each identity apart; a single photo of both people together keeps faces closest to real.

The orange booth
On Image, add both photos as references (models that support it take several in one request), keep 9:16 and use the ready prompt: a seamless orange studio, one mic hanging between the two, full body, no crowd and no props. Check that each face still looks like its owner before moving on.

Animate the back-and-forth
Open Video with that picture as the first frame and ask the pair to take turns at the mic with a locked camera. Clips in this trend usually run 10 to 15 seconds. The model, duration and credit cost show on the button before you generate; download without the song and add audio when you post.
Why Hotel Lobby AI is not in a hotel
Hotel Lobby is the Quavo and Takeoff song; the orange set comes from their 2022 COLORS session.
People expecting a front desk and lobby sofas find neither. The name belongs to the track, and the backdrop is the orange COLORS studio, which is why the prompt asks for an orange booth and a mic rather than a hotel.
The song
“HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)” by Quavo and Takeoff came out on May 20, 2022 through Quality Control Music and Motown Records. “Unc & Phew” points to their real family tie: Quavo is Takeoff's uncle.
The COLORS session
The COLORS YouTube channel posted “Quavo & Takeoff - HOTEL LOBBY | A COLORS SHOW” on June 17, 2022: a bright orange set, one suspended mic, no audience and no props. It opened the COLORS Black Music Month series made with Motown Records.
Hotel Lobby AI with your cat or dog
One clear photo per pet in similar light; they take turns at the mic like the human version.
Friends, couples, coworkers, cats and dogs all show up in this trend. The pet version uses the same two steps: one photo per animal, the orange booth on Image, the turn-taking on Video. The Two cats on the orange stage sample came from two cat photos, one per animal.
Two cats
Shoot each cat at eye level, with similar light in both photos and nothing covering the face. A dark coat needs extra light so the eyes and mouth stay readable.
A cat and a dog
For a cat and a dog, use full-body photos so each animal's size and stance carry into the picture. Put the pet you want on the left in Photo 1 and the one on the right in Photo 2.
Music and respect in a Hotel Lobby AI post
Add the song from the TikTok or Instagram library; many fans see the trend as a tribute to Takeoff.
Adding the song when you post
Export the clip from Video without music. TikTok and Instagram let personal accounts pick tracks from their in-app libraries; promotions and ads need music cleared for commercial use. CapCut mutes template audio it has no agreement for and suggests licensed or original music instead.
A tribute to Takeoff
Takeoff died in November 2022 at 28, so every remix reuses a performance he can no longer sign off on. Some fans call it a tribute, others find it uneasy, and Quavo described the comeback of the clip as bittersweet.
Hotel Lobby AI questions
What does a Hotel Lobby AI clip look like?
Two subjects stand in a seamless orange booth with one mic hanging between them and trade lines like a rap duo. Most clips are vertical, shot from a fixed camera, full body and 10 to 15 seconds long.
Which track goes with it?
“HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)” by Quavo and Takeoff, released May 20, 2022. The orange look comes from their COLORS session that June.
Can a brand or ad use the original track?
Personal accounts can add it from the TikTok or Instagram music library. Promotions and ads need music cleared for commercial use, so pick a licensed track or an original beat.
Why do some fans push back on it?
Takeoff died in November 2022, and each remix reuses a performance he can no longer approve. Some fans treat it as a tribute; others find it uncomfortable.
How should I shoot the two photos?
One person per photo, facing forward, even light, eyes and mouth visible, waist-up or full body. The first photo usually becomes the left performer and the second the right.
Who usually stars in these clips?
Friends, couples, coworkers, cats and dogs. Fictional pairs show up too; here, use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to it.
